DTC has increased its fares by up to 10% for travel by air-conditioned buses in the city. Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) has raised the minimum fare of AC buses from Rs 10 to Rs 11 and the maximum from Rs 25 to 27 for those travelers in the city.
This has been reported in thestatesman.com dated 2 November 2016.

The fares of DTC's Airport Express Bus Service have also been revised upwards with minimum fare now being Rs 27 from earlier Rs 25 - the maximum fare is now Rs 106 instead of the earlier Rs 100. There is, however, no change in the fares of the non-AC buses of DTC but, fares for children have been increased by up to 10 per cent.
Incidentally, passengers traveling up to 5 km in Noida region will have to shell out Rs 11 as against Rs 10 and the maximum fare will now be Rs 53 for traveling beyond 20 km.
The fare of Express Service, which mostly runs on Outer Ring Road, has gone up from Rs 30 to 32, while commuting up to 26 km and above in Gurgaon and Faridabad will be Rs 64 instead of Rs. 60. And, for Bahadurgarh in Haryana, the new fare for commuting up to three km will be Rs 6 against Rs 5.
These hikes are based on the decision of the Government for payment of Services Tax on 40 per cent revenue earned by AC buses of DTC.
